A Dynamic Replica Creation and Eviction Mechanism based on Files Dependencies in a Federated Grid Environment

For quite a while, data replication has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of data grid system, with a few researchers focusing on data replication in a federated data grid environment.The central goal of data replication mechanisms is to improve data locality, by creating more copies of the most popular files, and evicting unpopular files. In the conventional data grid systems, a common practice was to evaluate popular...
